The Drummer Man

Paul Humphrey. In any true hip-hop circle, this name goes almost unparalleled.  He is one of the greatest drummers of all-time, and probably the most recorded.  He played the drums on Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get it On" and had a few releases of his own.  The most notable of which, especially among crate diggers is "Detroit"



This song is what Funk drumming is, straight up. I cannot think of any drums that are really deeper than this.  Just the rhythm, driving and powerful.  Dope and funky. This is the reason why they say that the B-Side is the best side!
